So you really think that a country that's on the brink of electing a dictator is going to legislate its way out of a climate disaster?

@dangoodin @lizzard @chu @ianrosewrites yet a country "on the brinkā€¦" is gonna go vegetarian and stop drinking water from plastic bottles on their own?

Gov regs ARE a completely valid thing to target -and very much an uphill battle, as are targeting the obscenely wealthy, who, as noted elsewhere, spew literally tons of pollutants more than most people.

Doing everything you can to target the worst excesses first and hardest is basic triage- life threatening injuries should get most attention

Nice way to put words in my mouth I never said. Come back when you paraphrase me accurately and I'll read the rest of what you wrote.

My message was more:

Keeping at governments to appropriately regulate corporate and military responsibility is an uphill battle and a completely valid thing to continue to do. So is targeting the HUGE excess users. So is getting ordinary people to wake up and reduce their footprints. In about that order.

basic triage says to prioritize the biggest bang for the buck, or you end up with nice stitches on a dead patient.

sorry if you took offense

@dangoodin @chu @ianrosewrites no. I have low hopes for America in general. Sorry.
